We had the Magnolia room for 2 nights at the end of a 3 week trip around Tasmania. It was a wonderful way to end our trip. The room was large with a cosy feel and the facilities were very good. Cliff and Fifi are charming hosts and were very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend a stay here if you visit Devonport.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stony Rise Cottage! Cliff and Fifi were wonderful hosts. Would recommend for anyone to stay when they are in the area!
We had a wonderful comfortable stay at Stony Rise B & B

A beautiful stay!
Had a beautiful stay at Stony Rise Cottage B&B. Warm, cosy and quaint room and stunning gardens. Cliff was a very welcoming host. Also very understanding of the Spirit of Tasmania’s late arrival. Thank you for a wonderful stay, would recommend!
We recently stayed with Cliff and Fifi at Stony Rise, we were greeted by Cliff our host on our arrival, he is a great host. He helped and showed us to the 2 rooms that we stayed in during our onite stay. Our rooms were very comfortable and lacked no conveniences that made our stay very enjoyable.
The location was very easy to find after we left the Spirit, approx 8 minutes. An enjoyable experience and we highly recommend to you.
Tuesday evening.
What a days experience travelling on the spirit of Tasmania? The storm lashed the ferry with 5,6 meters waves. White knuckles . The Captain said “.Oh ,we just hit a pot hole”otherwise everything is as normal in Bass Straight?
I arrived at the Stony Rise Cottage very late. I was surprised to be met and welcomed by Cliff. I was initially going it alone to find my room with my trusty torch.
I think others from the ferry, felt grateful you were up too.
Thank you for your warm and friendly hospitality.
Hi Christina,
We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us after what was a very rough journey on the Spirit.

Amazing wildlife on the grounds
Stayed here just for a night off the Spirit of Tas before driving but wished I could’ve stayed longer. The grounds are beautiful and full of wildlife at night. Cliff and Fifi were lovely and were able help us by recommending how to go and see the Penguins of Lilico as well as other local activities to do in the area.
We had the pleasure of a peaceful stay with Cliff and Fifi at Stony Rise B+B. By far the best and most convenient stay close to Devonport and the Spirit of Tasmania . Warm comfortable and everything we needed for our start and finish to our trip.
We even had the opportunity to try Fifis home made apple pie to which my son admitted was better than his Granny’s.
Thankyou so much to both of you for your kind hospitality and your generosity.

A pleasant stay
We enjoyed our stay at Stony Rise Cottage, everything we might have needed was provided. It was comfortable and relaxing, a beautiful garden outside and the breakfast room was stunning with the morning sunshine streaming in! The rooms were spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. The hosts were considerate and obliging – all in all I’d recommend Stony Rise Cottage for anyone coming to Devonport.
-Great place for family and our dog
-The gardens are amazing with good location close to several resturants and stores, it is also only 7 mins drive from the Devonport terminal for Spirit of Tasmania
-Breakfast is nice and close to home with a homely set up
-Comfy beds and very clean rooms
Had a one night stay at Stony Rise but would have enjoyed longer. A lovely setting, beautiful gardens, most comfortable room, engagings hosts and a tasty breakfast before leaving.
Highly favored for a return visit.
Thank you.
Thanks for your kind comments. Next time maybe book directly with us either via our website or phone for a better deal.

Comfy cottage, congenial hosts
Cliff and Fifi made us very welcome and we enjoyed the beautifully presented early style decor and furnishings.
In a quiet location but still close to Devonport town and places of interest. Fifi’s home made jams added a lovely touch to our breakfast.
We would have happily stayed longer at Stony Rise Cottage if our travel plans had allowed it. We will happily recommend Stony Rise to family and other friends visiting the area.
Great place to return to and catch up with hosts Cliff, Fifi and Mel, so knowledgeable and welcoming, comfy beds and great setting. Would recommend this place to anyone staying in Devonport whether it be a night or a week.
At a loose end in Devenport, ferry had been cancelled. Two nights at the cottage made up for the inconvenience. Wonderful experience. Highly recommended
We stayed in the Magnolia room and it was very comfortable. It was very clean and cosy surrounded by beautiful well kept garden outside. Highly recommend this.

A very cosy, yet spacious room in a brilliant location. We rented one of the rooms in the main house which had a very effective heater, T.V. and a shared bathroom just down the hall with very nice facilities. Obviously very close to the spirit, but also back to town for Bowling and dinner.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay Anna. Thanks for the generous review.

Friendly, cozy, and clean!
I had a last minute stay here before catching the ferry back to Melbourne and was very pleased. The owners are both very friendly and the place was cute and clean. Would return 🙂
Last minute decision to stay here and it was great! Cliff was very friendly and accomodating with all the little extras in the room to make you feel welcome. The heated floor in the bathroom and the little fake log fire heater were very appreciated.
The rooms are lovely & close to shops etc , the gardens are just beautiful.
Our only 1 thing I can can is maybe in form people or remind them to book for breakfast if they would like it because we didn’t read the sign in the hallway & didn’t book & it would have been lovely to eat there in the morning. But other than that I highly recommend the cottages. Fifi & cliff were lovely people .

We were very fortunate to source accommodation at Stony Rise Cottages mid week and unplanned whilst waiting for our motorhome to be repaired.
We stayed in the lovely Magnolia room, it was luxurious and so large. As we were late arrivals, new to Devonport and not eaten most of the day, Cliff had a good selection of the local eateries who delivered which was appreciated. Fifi and Cliff are lovely, friendly hosts and their attention to detail throughout the entire homestead is unbelievable, everything has been thought of, gardens are fabulous….a treat for us to stay there and I would definitely suggest for anyone looking for a very unique accommodation to visit Stony Rise Cottages.
Thank you Cliff and Fifi
Perfect spot to stop before or after the crossing. Very pleasant room in lovely garden setting. Very warm welcome and everything you need is thought of. Would highly recommend.
My daughter and I stayed one night with Cliff and Fifi…. I certainly wish it was longer. Absolutely everything – from the driveway entrance to the bathroom, to the fabulous bed, to the gardens…..oh boy! Everything was spectacular. Cliff was a very attentive host and addressed our needs so compassionately.
I highly recommend Stony Rise Cottage to everyone. Spend as long as you can there – it is a beautifully quiet and pristine property you’ll want to come back to again and again.
Wonderful hosts, couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. Lovely house and gardens, very comfortable room….a real pleasure. Cliff knew we were bringing a dog, and he had already filled a water bowl and laid out a dog bed on the heated floor in the bathroom. What thoughtfulness. We will definitely return. Will have your breakfast next time, as it sounds wonderful.
Absolutely delightful stay at this wonderful homestead. Cliff and Fi were amazing hosts and we were also welcomed by their gorgeous doggie Sorsha! Our teenage children commented that Cliff and Fi were so lovely and said that it was like having extra grandparents. Very comfortable, very clean, lovely little touches to make you feel right at home. Excellent breakfast and the best preserved fruits and jams all homegrown!
Thanks Jonathan…..it was a pleasure to have your family stay.

A quality historical building which is well maintained. We were greeted very warmly and made welcome. We were even assisted the next day on where we could visit. We were also grateful in the assistance given as our vehicle needed a small repair the next morning.
Thanks Gordon and trust the vehicle repair was OK.

Excellent
We only stayed the one night and as there were three of us we booked the cottage with seperate bedrooms, a shame we didn’t have more time as the cottage ammenities were many and well set up for a longer stay. Will defiantly use this Bed n’ breakfast again if we’re passing in the future.
Wow factor in the Magnolia Room. Every item you could require already thought of! Excellent Art Deco fittings/lamps. If there ibvs a 5 Star rated B&B this would be it. Recommended at good value.
Would stay again. Committed owners provide instant support!
Perfect place to stay fifi and cliff were very welcoming and helpful on arrival. The room was amazing and comfortable, will definitely be staying here on my future visits to Devonport.
Unfortunately, our stay was not what we had hoped for.
We were catching the ferry in the morning, and although paid for bed and breakfast, did not receive breakfast.
I think it may be useful to know for those catching morning ferries that no breakfast is provided.
Even a little continental breakfast would have been really appreciated.
Having said that, the room was reasonable and the bed comfy.
No ensuite, so have to share the one bathroom with others
No fridge in room or use of one in the establishment was another letdown, a shame because the cottage looks so great online.
This is a disappointing review because it contains a number of inaccuracies which we would wish to clarify as follows:-
1. The booking for this guest did not include payment for breakfast.
2. Booking was made by the guest through the Booking.com platform which sets out clearly that breakfast is additional to the room price and that the room shares a bathroom.
3. Our website also is clear that the Oak Room shares a bathroom and that breakfast is an additional extra.
4. Our room rates are structured in this way as our guests often have an early morning departure to meet the ferry sailing schedule. That allows us to reduce the room rate by excluding the breakfast cost.
5. Price for the room also recognizes that the room comes without an ensuite.
6. Reference to the absence of a fridge in the room is noted. We are in the process of adding fridges to rooms. Presently three of our rooms do have a fridge, but unfortunately not the Oak Room as yet where Mr and Mrs Chartres stayed.
It is hoped that these comments do go some way toward clarifying the guest comments. We have endeavored to place all relevant information on the booking platform websites, on our own website and are continually reviewing it to ensure its accuracy.

A hidden little gem on a lovely property We had a relaxing overnight stay Beautiful room ,warm and cosy Our host Cliff was friendly and made us feel very welcome Highly recommended
Very pleasant experience. Have never stayed at B&B before and was very impressed. Room decor was lovely, service impeccable and the rooms were very comfortable. Clifford (the host) was very friendly and talked to me early on the morning of departure. My only suggestion to him, was a small fridge in the room, but other than that I loved staying there. The grounds are beautiful, a property I’d love to own/live in myself all the time. Thank you for a memorable stay.
After a warm welcome by Fi and Sorcha we had a great overnight stay in the Magnolia room. Comfortable, clean and such a beautiful room. Our elderly dog Lola was well catered for and was able to sleep comfortably in our ensuite in a comfy bed provided.
Fifi& Cliff are very nice and friendly. They helped a lot when I stay in Devonport for first time. The room is tidy and elegant. Bathroom is clean and bedroom is warm. Fantastic experience staying here！I will stay here next time when I come to Devonport.
Thanks you Rob for your kind comments….looking forward to catching up.

Checking was quick and easy and the owner is just beautiful. I REALLY wanted a bath, the heater was already on and the bath was just glorious! Candles and radox ready to use! Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing night away. Love bron and AJ x
A B&B with loads of Old World Charm, definitely worth another stay
Fi and Cliff, are to be commended for their warm hospitality and efforts, in presenting each room with an individual theme.
This lovely little gem of a bygone era, nestled amongst, more modern houses,
is a welcome relief from everyday type accommodation .
My wife and I enjoyed our brief but very pleasant stay.
Those 12 foot high ceilings with beautiful rosettes, brought a warm tear of nostalgia to my eye, as it so closely resembled my Grandfathers long gone

Both my partner and I would like to thank Fi & Cliff for their hospitality, Stony Rise is a lovely B&B, from our accommodations, through to breakfast the next morning, nothing was too much trouble, loved the selections of spreads for brekkie.
Thank you very much Fi & Cliff, we look forward to our next visit to Stony Rise Cottage.
Awesome home, only got to stay one night in late out early. Clifford is a very personable host with a deep knowledge and appreciation for this historic homestead.

My stay of a few days was relaxing and enjoyable in the carefully and thoughtfully decorated cottage. Cliff and Fifi were the perfect hosts. I certainly will be staying there on my next visit to Tasmania
What a wonderful B&B, Our Hosts Cliff and Fifi could not have been more accommodating. Beautiful House and Gardens. We loved our ample breakfast, cooked by Fifi, with her home grown and home made preserves. and lets not forget to mention the breakfast conversation. We left knowing that we would go back again.
What a place to stay while in Devonport, central to the attractions of this great area. With wonderful hosts Fifi and Cliff and the attention to detail at their breakfasts is amazing with nothing being too much trouble.
It was a pleasure to have you and Marilyn stay Kev. Best of luck in the competition.

Fantastic Friendly Hosts. Accommodation was spot on. My wife Deborah and I considered it to be the best place we stayed at in our 10 day trip of Tassie. Thank you Cliff and Fifi. We will be back.
Thankyou to Fifi and Clifford for the lovely stay at Stony rise cottage in Devonport Tas. We had a very warm welcome and the stay was very comfortable the place has beautiful gardens and the house has lots of charm. The beautiful smell of bread cooking gave it that extra mile.
Was very enjoyable!
Thankyou 🙂
Your very kind and generous comments are appreciated, thank you.

This was one of the best places we stayed in during our 9 days in Tassie. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and Clifford was very friendly and offered good advice on places to eat around the area. Thoroughly enjoyed our night here and would definitely stay again

Stony Rise Cottage Bed and Breakfast has a wonderful, warm feeling, matching the welcome from the hosts who were very helpful, providing a list of places locally where I could eat. The rooms are comfortable and warm, the bathroom very well appointed and I felt very welcome in the guest lounge where I could make a drink and sit in comfort catching up on emails. This accommodation is well situated, close to town with beautiful grounds, especially in spring! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

This is a beautiful location, a stylish older style home with quality fittings and a magnificent garden to enjoy and relax in. Cliff and Fi were outstanding hosts giving us their attention and support during our stay. We had two little children with us and this was never and issue for them. In fact they welcomed us into their home and our children played with their grandchildren. We also had our own privacy and areas to relax in including a lounge and sunny balcony. The location was perfect for our connections to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service, and to down town Devonport.

Clifford and Fi made us very welcome upon our arrival at Stony Rise. The B&B is in a great position and a short drive from the ferry terminal so is an ideal place to stay. Clifford gave us good advice on places to eat in the area especially as our stay coincided with a public holiday. There rooms were all comfortable clean and well appointed. We woukd definately recommend to fellow travellers!

Fifi and Cliff were a very warm couple with a lovely place and we enjoyed staying there with the family. The grounds were gorgeous and we loved bringing our dinner back and eating on the verandah. We had a lovely table and chairs in our room where we had a quiet read before bed. It was a very positive experience.

Clifford and Fifi are wonderful hosts. Their B&B is charming and very comfortable. The bedrooms and amenities are large, comfortable and clean. The lounge is elegant and comfy too. The little added extras like bottled water and chocolates bedside and a very well equipped bathroom were greatly appreciated. Do yourself a favour and stay for breakfast with Clifford and Fifi, they are lovely people and their breakfast is sensational (best strawberries ever!! and Fifi’s home grown tomatoes were awesome but hard to keep on your plate, whoops, sorry about that) and great value. We had a wonderful time and only regret that we weren’t staying longer. The proximity to The Spirit of Tasmania berth is an added bonus if you are sailing the Strait by day.

A very clean and comfortable place to stay with nice little touches like good quality toiletries and a variety of teas. We were only there one night before catching the ferry home, so a great spot for the early morning start.

Fifi and Cliff heartily welcomed our family of 5 into their home. Great set up for a couple of teenagers in one room and parents and younger child in another plus a lounge area to watch TV/DVDs or just relax. Bedrooms are very spacious and free Wi-Fi meant our kids were extremely content! Gorgeous grounds to wander throughout or take advantage of the back porch and enjoy a drink, which we did. Short drive to the city centre for dinner and a drive around the Mersey Bluff area.
Hello Angela,
Thank you for your very generous comments. We are very glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay. We trust that the rest of your holiday was just as enjoyable……best wishes for the new year…….Clifford & Fifi.

May, 2023We had the Magnolia room for 2 nights at the end of a 3 week trip around Tasmania. It was a wonderful way to end our trip.

Mar, 2023We recently stayed with Cliff and Fifi at Stony Rise, we were greeted by Cliff our host on our arrival, he is a great host. He helped and showed us to the 2 rooms that we stayed in during our onite stay. Our rooms were very comfortable and lacked no conveniences that made our stay very enjoyable.
The location was very easy to find after we left the Spirit, approx 8 minutes. An enjoyable experience and we highly recommend to you.
Fifi

Mar, 2023Tuesday evening.
What a days experience travelling on the spirit of Tasmania? The storm lashed the ferry with 5,6 meters waves. White knuckles . The Captain said “.Oh ,we just hit a pot hole”otherwise everything is as normal in Bass Straight?
I arrived at the Stony Rise Cottage very late. I was surprised to be met and welcomed by Cliff. I was initially going it alone to find my room with my trusty torch.
I think others from the ferry, felt grateful you were up too.
Thank you for your warm and friendly hospitality.
Fifi
Mar, 2023Hi Christina,
We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us after what was a very rough journey on the Spirit.

Jan, 2023We had the pleasure of a peaceful stay with Cliff and Fifi at Stony Rise B+B. By far the best and most convenient stay close to Devonport and the Spirit of Tasmania . Warm comfortable and everything we needed for our start and finish to our trip.
We even had the opportunity to try Fifis home made apple pie to which my son admitted was better than his Granny’s.
Thankyou so much to both of you for your kind hospitality and your generosity.

Dec, 2022We enjoyed our stay at Stony Rise Cottage, everything we might have needed was provided. It was comfortable and relaxing, a beautiful garden outside and the breakfast room was stunning with the morning sunshine streaming in! The rooms were spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. The hosts were considerate and obliging – all in all I’d recommend Stony Rise Cottage for anyone coming to Devonport.
Fifi
Dec, 2022Thank you Penny.

Nov, 2022Cliff and Fifi made us very welcome and we enjoyed the beautifully presented early style decor and furnishings.
In a quiet location but still close to Devonport town and places of interest. Fifi’s home made jams added a lovely touch to our breakfast.
We would have happily stayed longer at Stony Rise Cottage if our travel plans had allowed it. We will happily recommend Stony Rise to family and other friends visiting the area.

We arrived at night and I was surprised at how lovely the property was when we saw it the next morning.
Best sleep I’ve had for a long time, bed was very comfortable.
Clean, warm and budget friendly, absolutely recommend!

Anna
Apr, 2022A very cosy, yet spacious room in a brilliant location. We rented one of the rooms in the main house which had a very effective heater, T.V. and a shared bathroom just down the hall with very nice facilities. Obviously very close to the spirit, but also back to town for Bowling and dinner.
Fifi
Apr, 2022So pleased you enjoyed your stay Anna. Thanks for the generous review.

Apr, 2022Last minute decision to stay here and it was great! Cliff was very friendly and accomodating with all the little extras in the room to make you feel welcome. The heated floor in the bathroom and the little fake log fire heater were very appreciated.
Fifi
Apr, 2022Thank you Michelle.
Karen Hammersley
Apr, 2022The rooms are lovely & close to shops etc , the gardens are just beautiful.
Our only 1 thing I can can is maybe in form people or remind them to book for breakfast if they would like it because we didn’t read the sign in the hallway & didn’t book & it would have been lovely to eat there in the morning. But other than that I highly recommend the cottages. Fifi & cliff were lovely people .
Michelle Hazelton

Feb, 2022We were very fortunate to source accommodation at Stony Rise Cottages mid week and unplanned whilst waiting for our motorhome to be repaired.
We stayed in the lovely Magnolia room, it was luxurious and so large. As we were late arrivals, new to Devonport and not eaten most of the day, Cliff had a good selection of the local eateries who delivered which was appreciated. Fifi and Cliff are lovely, friendly hosts and their attention to detail throughout the entire homestead is unbelievable, everything has been thought of, gardens are fabulous….a treat for us to stay there and I would definitely suggest for anyone looking for a very unique accommodation to visit Stony Rise Cottages.
Thank you Cliff and Fifi

Absolutely everything – from the driveway entrance to the bathroom, to the fabulous bed, to the gardens…..oh boy! Everything was spectacular.

I highly recommend Stony Rise Cottage to everyone. Spend as long as you can there – it is a beautifully quiet and pristine property you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Will have your breakfast next time, as it sounds wonderful.

Very comfortable, very clean, lovely little touches to make you feel right at home. Excellent breakfast and the best preserved fruits and jams all homegrown!

There is lots of little touches of luxury at Stony Rise Cottage.

Mar, 2021We only stayed the one night and as there were three of us we booked the cottage with seperate bedrooms, a shame we didn’t have more time as the cottage ammenities were many and well set up for a longer stay. Will defiantly use this Bed n’ breakfast again if we’re passing in the future.
Fifi
Mar, 2021Thank you and hope to see you again.

Mar, 2021Wow factor in the Magnolia Room. Every item you could require already thought of! Excellent Art Deco fittings/lamps. If there ibvs a 5 Star rated B&B this would be it. Recommended at good value.
Would stay again. Committed owners provide instant support!

Dallas
Jan, 2021Unfortunately, our stay was not what we had hoped for.
We were catching the ferry in the morning, and although paid for bed and breakfast, did not receive breakfast.
I think it may be useful to know for those catching morning ferries that no breakfast is provided.
Even a little continental breakfast would have been really appreciated.
Having said that, the room was reasonable and the bed comfy.
No ensuite, so have to share the one bathroom with others
No fridge in room or use of one in the establishment was another letdown, a shame because the cottage looks so great online.
Fifi
Jan, 2021This is a disappointing review because it contains a number of inaccuracies which we would wish to clarify as follows:-
1. The booking for this guest did not include payment for breakfast.
2. Booking was made by the guest through the Booking.com platform which sets out clearly that breakfast is additional to the room price and that the room shares a bathroom.
3. Our website also is clear that the Oak Room shares a bathroom and that breakfast is an additional extra.
4. Our room rates are structured in this way as our guests often have an early morning departure to meet the ferry sailing schedule. That allows us to reduce the room rate by excluding the breakfast cost.
5. Price for the room also recognizes that the room comes without an ensuite.
6. Reference to the absence of a fridge in the room is noted. We are in the process of adding fridges to rooms. Presently three of our rooms do have a fridge, but unfortunately not the Oak Room as yet where Mr and Mrs Chartres stayed.
It is hoped that these comments do go some way toward clarifying the guest comments. We have endeavored to place all relevant information on the booking platform websites, on our own website and are continually reviewing it to ensure its accuracy.

Nov, 2020Very pleasant experience. Have never stayed at B&B before and was very impressed. Room decor was lovely, service impeccable and the rooms were very comfortable. Clifford (the host) was very friendly and talked to me early on the morning of departure. My only suggestion to him, was a small fridge in the room, but other than that I loved staying there. The grounds are beautiful, a property I’d love to own/live in myself all the time. Thank you for a memorable stay.
Fifi
Nov, 2020Neil, thanks for your very generous comments.

May, 2020What an amazing place to rest your head. After a very long drive, we were lucky enough to find stony rise cottages. We were greeted at the door by the owner and sorcha the adorable pup! Checking was quick and easy and the owner is just beautiful. I REALLY wanted a bath, the heater was already on and the bath was just glorious! Candles and radox ready to use! Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing night away. Love bron and AJ x

May, 2020Thanks Bron, it was a pleasure to have you and AJ stay with us….best wishes

Donald McDonald
Mar, 2020Fi and Cliff, are to be commended for their warm hospitality and efforts, in presenting each room with an individual theme.
This lovely little gem of a bygone era, nestled amongst, more modern houses,
is a welcome relief from everyday type accommodation .
My wife and I enjoyed our brief but very pleasant stay.
Those 12 foot high ceilings with beautiful rosettes, brought a warm tear of nostalgia to my eye, as it so closely resembled my Grandfathers long gone

Beatrice Van Croonenborg
Sep, 2019Thank you once again Clifford and Fi for a great stay in your very special Magnolia Room. Both times I have appreciated all the charming touches you have given the room and property as a whole. It is evident this has been a labour of love, and your guests enjoy it also. It is such a great location too, as I found everything I needed to be close and convenient. And the fact that you also live on the premises meant that I felt safe at all times.
Thanks again, hope to see you both one day!

Apr, 2019What a wonderful place to stay. Cliff and Fifi were such incredible hosts that could not do enough for us which made our stay such a memorable one. We felt very welcome and the house and our room were truly amazing and so well set up. The bedroom was spacious with a very large comfortable bed along with a tastefully designed en suite (including a heated floor). We totally recommend Stony Rise Cottages to anyone travelling to Devonport as it was one of the highlights of our trip and if every back in Tasmania we will definitely be visiting again.

Victoria Kitanov
Feb, 2019I’m loathe to give Stony Rise Cottage a sparkling review because then EVERYONE will discover Devonport’s treasure accommodation!
Have just had my second stay at Stony Rise Cottage with seriously fabulous hosts Fifi & Clifford. It’s been more than delightful & I can’t speak highly enough of every aspect…in fact, all you have to do is relax, unwind & enjoy! I would also recommend the home cooked breakfast! Wowie!!
First Class & 5 Stars all round!

Peter Crisp
Dec, 2018Stayed here for two nights for a nearby meeting, the thing I judge on are cleanliness, sleep quality (especially pillows) and breakfast. All these were great and better than most accommodation that I have stayed in. Lost 0.1 for a little traffic noise in my room, not enough to disturb sleep but noticeable. Grounds are beautiful and relaxing. Easier if you have a car but only a short taxi to town.
Jasper
Dec, 2018Great stay here for one night. Hosts were friendly and helpful and I felt right at home. Breakfast was generous and tasty and will be staying again.
Fifi
Dec, 2018Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again.
Terril Marais
Dec, 2018I had a wonderful stay, (all be it very short) at Stony Rise. Fantastic hosts Fi and Cliff make you feel extremely welcome – they feel more like old friends than people you have just met. The facilities are gorgeous. Clean, beautifully presented, with all needs provided for. The gardens are stunning and relaxing. The cooked breakfast was delicious and included jams and preserves from the properties own fruit trees. All in all, a delightful place to stay, that I would recommend to all. I hope I get the chance to go back and spend some more time there.
Fifi
Dec, 2018Thanks Terril and we would like to see you again also.
John Mullen

Rhani
Oct, 2018Thankyou to Fifi and Clifford for the lovely stay at Stony rise cottage in Devonport Tas. We had a very warm welcome and the stay was very comfortable the place has beautiful gardens and the house has lots of charm. The beautiful smell of bread cooking gave it that extra mile.

Hilary Reader
Oct, 2018Stony Rise Cottage Bed and Breakfast has a wonderful, warm feeling, matching the welcome from the hosts who were very helpful, providing a list of places locally where I could eat. The rooms are comfortable and warm, the bathroom very well appointed and I felt very welcome in the guest lounge where I could make a drink and sit in comfort catching up on emails. This accommodation is well situated, close to town with beautiful grounds, especially in spring! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Pixie Cox
Sep, 2018Warm welcome, lovely little extras that were much appreciated, and a super breakfast menu!

Linda
Apr, 2018This is a beautiful location, a stylish older style home with quality fittings and a magnificent garden to enjoy and relax in. Cliff and Fi were outstanding hosts giving us their attention and support during our stay. We had two little children with us and this was never and issue for them. In fact they welcomed us into their home and our children played with their grandchildren. We also had our own privacy and areas to relax in including a lounge and sunny balcony. The location was perfect for our connections to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service, and to down town Devonport.
Gary
Apr, 2018Was a wonderful way to finish our holiday in Tassie. The home was very comfortable, clean, and relaxing and in a great location. Made to feel right at home by caring hosts. Would luv to stay again on next visit to Tassie.

Tracy
Mar, 2018Clifford and Fi made us very welcome upon our arrival at Stony Rise. The B&B is in a great position and a short drive from the ferry terminal so is an ideal place to stay. Clifford gave us good advice on places to eat in the area especially as our stay coincided with a public holiday. There rooms were all comfortable clean and well appointed. We woukd definately recommend to fellow travellers!
Linda

Allison
Mar, 2018Fifi and Cliff were a very warm couple with a lovely place and we enjoyed staying there with the family. The grounds were gorgeous and we loved bringing our dinner back and eating on the verandah. We had a lovely table and chairs in our room where we had a quiet read before bed. It was a very positive experience.
Neil
Mar, 2018Clifford and Fifi are wonderful hosts. Their B&B is charming and very comfortable. The bedrooms and amenities are large, comfortable and clean. The lounge is elegant and comfy too. The little added extras like bottled water and chocolates bedside and a very well equipped bathroom were greatly appreciated. Do yourself a favour and stay for breakfast with Clifford and Fifi, they are lovely people and their breakfast is sensational (best strawberries ever!! and Fifi’s home grown tomatoes were awesome but hard to keep on your plate, whoops, sorry about that) and great value. We had a wonderful time and only regret that we weren’t staying longer. The proximity to The Spirit of Tasmania berth is an added bonus if you are sailing the Strait by day.
Doug
Feb, 2018We had a lovely stay in this beautiful accommodation. Our hosts very very welcoming and helpful. We would have no hesitation in booking another stay and will recommend to our friends and family if they are looking for a place to stay in Devonport.

Jan, 2018Lovely place to stay. Friendly, helpful hosts. Beds were really comfy and being able to have a bath was amazing. The 10 minute drive to the spirit of Tassie, just off the freeway, was really convenient, and being 1.5 hours from cradle mountain was really handy. Thank you for having us.
Carolyn
Jan, 2018Clifford and Fifi and just lovely! They are welcoming and accommodating to your needs in regards to checking in and looking around. The house is amazing and beautifully decorated. You will love it.
Kate
Jan, 2018A very clean and comfortable place to stay with nice little touches like good quality toiletries and a variety of teas. We were only there one night before catching the ferry home, so a great spot for the early morning start.
Angela and Danny
Dec, 2017Fifi and Cliff heartily welcomed our family of 5 into their home. Great set up for a couple of teenagers in one room and parents and younger child in another plus a lounge area to watch TV/DVDs or just relax. Bedrooms are very spacious and free Wi-Fi meant our kids were extremely content! Gorgeous grounds to wander throughout or take advantage of the back porch and enjoy a drink, which we did. Short drive to the city centre for dinner and a drive around the Mersey Bluff area.
Fifi
